Configuring the extension
There are several settings that can be used to configure the extension.
As mentioned above, githubPullRequests.remotes is used to specify what remotes the extension should try to fetch pull requests from.
To customize the pull request tree, you can use the githubPullRequests.queries setting. This setting is a list of labels and search queries which populate the categories of the tree. By default, these queries are "Waiting For My Review", "Assigned To Me", and "Created By Me". An example of adding a "Mentioned Me" category is to change the setting to the following:
"githubPullRequests.queries": [
{
"label": "Waiting For My Review",
"query": "is:open review-requested:${user}"
},
{
"label": "Assigned To Me",
"query": "is:open assignee:${user}"
},
{
"label": "Created By Me",
"query": "is:open author:${user}"
},
{
"label": "Mentioned Me",
"query": "is:open mentions:${user}"
}
]Similarly, there is a setting to configure your issues queries: githubIssues.queries.
Queries use GitHub search syntax.
To view additional settings for the extension, you can open VS Code settings and search for "github pull requests".
